Tashreeq Matthews: South Africa starlet joins Helsingborg from Borussia Dortmund on loan

Helsingborg have confirmed the signing of South Africa junior international Tashreeq Matthews on loan from German giants Borussia Dortmund.

The skilful midfielder rose through the development ranks at South African Premier Soccer League (PSL) team Ajax Cape Town before signing a deal with Dortmund in November of last year.

However, Matthews was shipped out to Jong Utrecht in the Dutch Eerste Divisie in an attempt to allow him to gain some much-needed experience.

Nonetheless, the club have now opted to build on his previous loan spell by giving the 18-year-old a shot at senior first-team football in Sweden.
